FMV14199W
File 'file name' is not backed up as part of the system state because cluster disk 'volume name' is not accessible.

Explanation

The indicated file or directory was returned by VSS as part of the backup file list of the writer. However, the cluster disk where the file is located is not accessible. The reasons for this problem can be that the cluster disk is offline or belongs to another node.

System action

The file is not backed up. Processing continues.

User response

This problem is documented in Microsoft knowledge base topic 980794 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;980794. The topic includes a hotfix. With the hotfix, you can specify a registry key that contains a list of one or more files to be excluded from VSS enumeration. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager does not back up files that are not enumerated by VSS. If the volume is brought online to the node performing the system state backup, then it cannot be backed up. You must remove the volume from the registry key and restart the system before you can back up the volume.
If you do not want to implement the hotfix for this problem, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager continues to issue this message.
